Default Need Radiator Help!

alright so i have a turbo'd da i am fabricating and finishing up and have a prob with the rad. i got the Koyo half size and it sits way to high and it will not clear the hood. i have heard that the C&R will fit better in DA's and EF's. if anyone can confirm this that would be great. here are pics to help with understand my prob. i cant get the damn rad flush with the core support because it is too tall!!!

did you try putting the hood on? I didn't think my rad was going to clear but it did.

If that's the civic radiator, it's not gonna fit no matter what brand you use. You have to tilt it back and/or get a new front crossmember made to utilize the radiator
